The Medical Council of Ireland recently introduced some initiatives to enhance the education and training of interns. These include the development of a generic job description, a logbook to monitor training outcomes and a national network of supervisors to plan and oversee intern training. To get feedback on the impact of these reforms, the Medical Council surveyed all interns with Irish addresses in March 2003. Three hundred (65%) of 461 interns responded. The majority provided positive feedback on many aspects of their education and training, their work environment and professional relationships. However, a majority also reported a lack of protected time for education, a lack of formal educational programmes, insufficient feedback on performance and an unnecessarily stressful work environment. Overall, 61% reported being bullied and 4% had experienced sexual harassment. While feedback on the Irish internship experience is generally positive, further work is necessary to address the problems identified.
爱尔兰医学委员会最近推出了一些举措,以加强实习医生的教育和培训。这些举措包括制定一份通用的职位描述、一本用于监测培训成果的日志以及一个由监督员组成的全国网络,以规划和监督实习医生培训。为了获得有关这些改革影响的反馈,医学委员会于2003年3月对所有在爱尔兰有住址的实习医生进行了调查。461名实习医生中有300名(65%)作出了回应。大多数人对他们教育和培训的许多方面、工作环境以及职业关系给予了积极反馈。然而,大多数人也报告称缺乏用于教育的受保护时间、缺乏正规教育计划、对表现的反馈不足以及工作环境压力过大。总体而言,61%的人报告称受到过欺凌,4%的人曾遭受过性骚扰。虽然对爱尔兰实习经历的反馈总体上是积极的,但仍有必要进一步努力解决所发现的问题。
